The transmitter went into operation in 1984 under the name 96.7 K-Dog . In terms of content, it initially served the contemporary hit segment, but changed the name and direction several times in the course of its history. Under the name Hot 96.7 they returned to the original concept as a contemporary hit station in September 2009.
For legal reasons, radio stations must begin with a K or W. Since North Mankato is east of the Mississippi, the station had to begin with K (KDOG). In January 1923, the dividing line along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, which is still valid today, was established. The previously assigned "wrong" callsigns remained valid. Some of these stations still exist today.
